Link don't work.

Glue under pinstripe? Use gluegone or something similar in any grocery store. It should work effortlessly. Afterwards, use a little ArmorAll on the area. Good luck.
 












i have seen it before and i think it look's very good go for it

sorry i couldent tell you how much it would be
 






Is it powder coated?
 






im not sure, what is powder coated?
 






Not really sure about how they powder coat, just know its pretty expensive. The powder is magnetized and is applied how ever you want it then baked. Looks just like they died the metal basically, real smooth looking. If i'm wrong on the procecss here someone just correct me. I'm trying to recal how they did it on orange county choppers! Do a search on google and i'm sure you'll find more info.
 












my girlfriend worked for a rim place in florida called turbex and they work all throughout the state, they paint rims so it can be done maybe you just have to get it done by someone where you live.
